We have about 5 minutes to present something really special for this amazing mentor and person. Let's start brainstorming....
Ideas

1. Readers' Theater - write the script? adapt somthing out there?
  • Ideas for adapting a script:
    • Tia mentioned Caps for Salebecause Amy wears so many caps. Great one!
      • What could we do to modify it for Readers Theater?
      • Or would we use the doc camera and use a picture of Amy's face on the man and add caps by name (instead of color of cap, make them "teacher cap", "facilitator cap", collaborator, mentor, etc.)
      • Other thoughts?
    • Amy's favorite book: Whinnie the Pooh
      • (considerations: Original story is long. Would we take a scene from it?
      • What about another Whinnie the Pooh book? Pooh's Graduationis one option.
        • Summary: It's graduation time for Christopher Robin. Pooh, Tigger, and the rest of the gang decide to hold their own graduation celebration. Each graduate receives a diploma and an award for their best talent: Tigger for bouncing, Piglet for cleaning, and Roo for finger painting. But Pooh's not sure what he's best at, until Christopher Robin hands him an award for best friend
      • Other ideas around a Whinnie the Pooh theme?
    • Other texts to adapt? What about a poem?
    Tia speaking: I adapted this one: Is there something we could do to improve it?
